just cause you *can* do something, doesn't mean you should.


unless it's dieing when hot, has no power, smokes bad, or does any of the other 'my ip is dead' symptoms, drive on and keep a spare in the back seat.

Did you get the tach working? Have you tried having another car pace you to see if the speedo is reading right?

IIRC, You've cranked the fuel on Your IP?

You better be damned careful. Your gonna burn that thing down beating on it like that.

if my mom finds her video camera i will make a bunch of videos, at idle it sounds normal and going down the road its just like that, but when you push your foot into it comes alive, it sounds awsome when you have the window down i love them

I'm not an old man but... I'm probably older than most of you... None of my motors have ever seen the govenor... Ever.... But some do drive "bouncing off the govenor" all day long... These motors can take it. Remember, they are designed as medium duty truck motors.... Not race motors

i dont drive mine bouncing off the governer just every now and then i like to get up to speed real fast, the reason i posted is i had some crazy surging after i let off, and i think the motor reved higher than ever, but i dont have a tach, just my ear and my speedo
